Would he still be a guaranteed top pick in that era? Where is he getting selected at, and why? Is he cracking the top five?
Take in consideration: potential, early 2000’s style of play, and ability to adapt.

I think the fact he is a much better shooter overall than Lebron was when he got drafted, you can’t pass up the size and skill. They’d both have the “he’s still growing” phase but Wemby can anchor a defense himself. I’d take that over Lebron. Although if your Cleveland, you probably can’t take a French guy over a homegrown kid from Akron haha
